Set $44=3 and $45=0 in Grbl Settings It's a 'mask' where X=1, Y=2 and Z=4 (or combination thereof) So the default of $44=4 (does Z first) then in $45=3 ( 3 = 2+1 = X+Y together after Z) works great for a machine with a Z For a 2-axes machine we change it to do XY first ($44=3) and set $45=0 because theres no more axes to home Can also do $44=1 (X first) $45=2 (then Y) If you don't want XY to go together like they usually do - together saves a bit of time while homing so usually the way its set
I have two open builds limit switches. Is there a way to set them up so I can do a continuous jog to the switch but it doesn't kill everything. For example if I press the left key arrow and jog all of the way to the limit switch and trigger it can I use the right arrow key to jog the other way with out triggering any alarms or resetting anything?
You can use Soft Limits (that will jog to just shy of the Home -> Max Travel rectangles extents) - remember to home to establish the coordinate space and make sure Max Travel is set correctly
This sounds like exactly what I need, the only issue is I dont seem to be able to set $44 or $45, am I doing something stupid?
$44/45 applies to grblHAL based controllers like the OpenBuilds BlackBox X32 - what controller do you have
